A Dietitian is an expert in identifying and treating diseases related in any way to nutrients, as well as conducting medical nutrition therapy. Dietitians are registered with the HPCSA and are therefore classified as Health Professionals with medical knowledge and training that can counsel on a vast range of diseases, health, lifestyle changes, growth, and performance. Dietitians are the only regulated healthcare professionals that can assess, diagnose, and treat any nutrition-related diseases.
I grew up in the city of Johannesburg, which is also where I attended school. I then completed my studies at the University of Pretoria. After my studies, I moved back to JHB where I completed my community service at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital. Following community service, I continued at CHBAH working as a Covid-19 ICU Dietitian.
It was during this time my passion for nutrition branched into the field of immunology and immunonutrition (the use of specific nutrients to modulate the activities of the immune system)which encouraged me to specialize further.
The decision to open my own practice was to create opportunities for my patients to receive highly individualized nutritional interventions to achieve the best health and wellbeing possible. It has also given me the chance to work within a multidisciplinary team allowing focus on sports and nutrition.
